FOSS Apps Section

The FOSS Apps section in the EcoVerse is a curated collection of the best privacy focused, security enhancing and quality of life apps for Android. We are especially proud of this one as it shines a light on many underrated open source developers.

DresTor

DresTor is a refreshed and maintained fork of an older Tor client from The Guardian Project that had unfortunately fallen out of active development. We updated it and gave it a proper home so it could continue to serve the FOSSverse.

DresGeoSpoofing

DresGeoSpoofing is a fork and improvement of an excellent location spoofing app originally created by Matias and his team. This was a learning exercise for us as we want to begin developing our own original apps and it was our way of saying thank you to Matias for actually inspiring us to work on apps. We left all credits to Matias and his team in the app so others can discover their outstanding open source work.

DresOS: The Defensive Security Distro

Coming late 2026.

Check out the DresEcoVerse for devlogs and progress updates on it.

Magisk Modules Live

We are building Magisk modules to automate the DresOS Android build process step by step. Each module replaces a block of manual steps with a single flash in Magisk. The goal is a complete automated DresOS build.

Due to Google's restrictions on app development and firmware swaps, we shut down all ongoing app projects including DresSecureComms. We redirected everything into Magisk modules instead. This lets us bypass many of Google's restrictions while continuing the fight against data mining, data selling, and surveillance.

Module Repository

Released Modules

dresoswv v1.0.0
DresOS AOSmium WebView
Replaces Android's system WebView with AOSmium - a Chromium fork hardened with GrapheneOS and Vanadium security patches. The system WebView is the browser engine used internally by hundreds of apps whenever they render web content. Google's version phones home on every render. This module replaces it in a single Magisk flash.

What it does: removes competing WebView updates, hides all competing system WebView packages via Magisk .replace files, installs AOSmium to system/app, patches the config_webview_packages allowlist via a compiled RRO overlay, and registers via pm install at flash time. Supports Magisk and KernelSU.

After flashing: Settings - Developer Options - WebView implementation - select AOSmium WebView.

Planned Modules

dresosmicrog Planned
Noogle microG Installer
Replaces Google Play Services with microG for app compatibility without Google tracking.
dresosdebloat Planned

Stay tuned, stay private, and keep building. - The DresOS Team

DresOS Android

We originally wanted to release our own system but due to all these new cyber laws and the pressure Google is putting on firmware swaps we just could never release it. So we hope our project can bring our organisation back to its core values and release an idea we had once in a different light.

The DresOS Android project has been fully merged into a single comprehensive guide. The old two-repo method (Android-Degoogling and Android-opsec) is now combined into one unified system with a full app suite, security architecture document, and changelog.

Build Your DresOS Android System

Follow the unified guide below. It covers everything from unlocking the bootloader and flashing Magisk, to the full OPSEC stack with InviZible Pro, AFWall+, and the complete DresOS defensive app suite.

What the System Includes

  • Part 1 - DeGoogling - Full root method: TWRP, Magisk, Noogle microG, AOSmium WebView via Magisk module, Shizuku, system debloat, FOSS app replacements
  • Part 2 - Operational Security - InviZible Pro proxy and root mode (Tor + I2P + DNSCrypt), AFWall+ kernel firewall, Tuta Mail with Duck Address email setup, GPS spoofing via Fake Traveler
  • Part 3 - DresOS Defensive App Suite - 16 apps fully documented with setup, features, and usage instructions
